Prime Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I've been reading Dark Horse's Legacy comic series and I decided to do a little mod based on the Imperial Knights: I've started creating the armour based on the Zeison Sha Initiate Armour. I'm thinking of also creating a lightsaber and a few equipment items as well. I'll get some screens up when I have something that doesn't look like a total mess.

Emperor Devon Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Intriguing idea. What other equipment were you thinking of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I feel like doing a dance, but since my experiences from junior high all the way to senior prom have proven I have the inept ability to be an appalling dancer, I'll let my pink friends do the dancing for me... :elephant: :elephant: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithRevan Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Oh Man I hope you do that armor, I would love to see something like that in kotor 1 or 2! @Maverick: Nice dance moves let me try....here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 Intriguing idea. What other equipment were you thinking of? A lightsaber, and maybe some gauntlets or belts or things of that sort that try and capture the spirit of the organization... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 a suggestion: if you are making these, its a good idea to have colour choices, cause some people (like me) enjoy options. (Eg. say you include silver, grey, black and the original red in a nice package) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 are those guys bad guys? i guess they are if they're imps, but still, they don't look evil... They're not really good or evil. The Empire they serve is very different from Palpatine's. @Prime, having gauntlets sounds like a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Kavar Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 It sounds like a great idea; I don't know if the armored-robes model is the best choice, but you have to work with what you have. I'm curious how you plan on re-creating the leather pad material texture, since I've been trying to do the same thing for awhile now with almost no luck.

Prime Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 are those guys bad guys? i guess they are if they're imps, but still, they don't look evil...Not bad guys (so far). They are Jedi who do not follow the will of the Force, etc. They are completely dedicated to the emperor of the time. Basically, they are Jedi stormtroopers. @Prime: re: Belts: Force resist bonuses, maybe? Especially shielding against electrical damage?Not sure yet. I plan on going through the available item properties and see what most closely captures their concept in the source material (limited as it is). a suggestion: if you are making these, its a good idea to have colour choices, cause some people (like me) enjoy options. (Eg. say you include silver, grey, black and the original red in a nice package)We'll see. I tend to focus on trying to be as close to the source material as possible in my mods. And the Imperial Knights all wear identical red armour. That being said, I'm a bit torn to over how to do other aspects of the colour scheme. From the comics and images I have, it seems that under the armour there is black clothing with a dark brown cape and belt. However, I think a fully black scheme looks much better.

I'm curious how you plan on re-creating the leather pad material texture, since I've been trying to do the same thing for awhile now with almost no luck.Yeah, basically I found it the best of a bad lot. I looked at several different models, and felt that this one was the closest I was going to get. That's why I originally used the phrase "based on". Anyway, here is a screen of a first pass. As you can see, lots left to do and clean up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithRevan Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 It looks awesome prime, but I would see if you could attach darth revans cape or maybe even model a new cape for it so it really has an accurate portrail of the actual armor that you are trying to make. But anyway you have done an awesome job on it so far. I wish you the best of luck on making the rest of the armor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how possible that is, and I certainly don't know how to do it (haven't really gotten into the modelling side). If someone wants to take on that challenge, by all means. Otherwise, you are stuck with a less than perfect model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone wants to take on that challenge, by all means. Otherwise, you are stuck with a less than perfect model. I would usually take the challenge of doing that because I like to be challenged, but this time I might have to decline because making the cape would be hard and definatly time consuming not only that I have a million and one mods that I am doing. So if I do have some time later on down the road I would do this but for now I can't and besides prime you already did a totally awesome job with the retexturing you did and I am sure that all of the other items included in this is mod are just as amazing as the armor. So good luck with the rest of the armor and items and hopefully if I ever get any time I will or somebody else will be able to make a cool looking cape for it.

ChAiNz.2da Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 No matter what path you take Prime, I'm quite positive it will result in nothing short of "Pure Awesome" I've seen your work, I'm a fan of your work.. and your mods are a staple in my gameplays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithRevan Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I agree with Chainz your mods are awesome and with or without the cape I am sure that it will still be totally awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
